Doug Ford: Ex-Toronto mayor's brother set to be Ontario premier

Doug Ford, the brother of troubled former Toronto mayor Rob Ford, is on course to be elected the premier of Canada's most populous province. Mr Ford ran a populist campaign, promising to fight for "The little guy" and to make life more affordable for Ontario residents by cutting energy cost, slashing the price of petrol, and lowering provincial income tax. In the claim, Renata Ford alleged Doug and his brother Randy mismanaged the family business and mishandled her late husband's estate. As Toronto mayor, Rob Ford gained international notoriety for his scandals, outlandish public acts, and drug use, including admitting to smoking crack cocaine. During Rob Ford's time running Toronto, the brothers were inseparable, with Doug Ford once referring to himself as "Co-mayor".
